Maud, when she had glanced over
the scrap of paper addressed her,
heaved an impatient sigh
“Laura wants me to join her; I sup-
pose I must go. There is nothing I

“Pray leave them—by all means.”
The Professor's tone had grown quite
cordial. It seemed this girl did know
something of the Mongolian problem
after all, and had opinions of her own
on certain varied points connected
with it. He turned the page with some
curiosity.
“Very good. Very good, indeed.

Professor read on, ignoring .the mis-

with confusion when the owner of the
manuscript returned to claim it.

The Professor often glanced at her
across the table—Mrs St. Julian no
longer sent them into dinner together
wondering how any woman with a
mind conld endure the irresponsible
prattle of that brainless giant. Miss
Affleck endured it with cheerful stoic-
ism. Bhe exposed herself voluntarily
to the infliction, accompanying the big
man on rambles in search of wild
flowers and suffering him to give her
billiard lessons on rainy mornings.
